Adam Wainwright went just 4 and 1/3 innings and struggled for the third straight game as the Cards lost to the Cubs 8-1. It didnt help anything by the fact that the Redbirds bats we silent once more.
Jacque Jones started off the fifth with a double to left-center field. Catcher Henry Blanco followed with an RBI double. Left fielder Chris Duncan almost made the catch, but couldn't come up with it and crashed into the wall, knocking him off his feet.
After a sacrifice bunt by the pitcher, Wainwright walked Alfonso Soriano on five pitches. Ryan Theriot came up with an RBI single, followed by an RBI double by Derrek Lee. After an intentional walk to Aramis Ramirez, Wainwright was lifted for left-handed reliever Tyler Johnson. Johnson got Floyd to hit into a fielder's choice that scored a run, and then gave up an infield single to Mark DeRosa to load the bases.
Jones, batting for the second time in the inning, tripled to clear the bases and break the game open at 7-0.
The Cardinals had just 7 hits for the game. Albert Puhols had home run #6 in the 7th inning off of Carlos Zambrano.
WP Zambrano 2-2
